Chapter 197: How Embarrassing! I Want Qiao Lian to Interview Me! (7)
Actually, the mistake of being late for the interview could be considered both big and small.
Beijing’s traffic was so heavy. It was impossible that no reporter had been late for an interview before.
The managing editor’s words then had only been to scare her.
After all, if Qiao Lian got actually fired, Liu Zhixing would not be able to continue pursuing her, wouldn’t he?
However, there was Su Meimei, who had just risen to power in the news agency, so this matter would definitely not be settled easily.
–
In the conference room.
Liu Zhixing and Su Meimei gave Qiao Lian her final punishment notice.
After Qiao Lian saw the notice, she was completely speechless. Curling her lips, she questioned, “You’re asking me to apologize to Mo Ru?”
Mo Ru was well-known for having a very bad temper in the industry. Last time, because she had been late, she had already been splashed with coffee. Who knew how hard she would be on her if she went to apologize this time!
Su Meimei said arrogantly, “Yes, it’s your fault, of course you should go and apologize to her! Are you expecting us to clean up the mess you made?”
Ignoring what she said, Qiao Lian looked at the second clause. “Compensate $300,000 for Mo Ru’s loss and $200,000 for the news agency’s loss?”
This was just… daylight robbery!
Unfortunately, Su Meimei went on to explain, “Yes, Mo Ru wasted her whole morning, and she earns more than $300,000 in one morning! A $300,000 compensation should already be a bargain for you. As for the news agency, don’t you think you have to compensate us for wrecking Mo Ru’s news item?”
Once again, Qiao Lian ignored her words and looked at the third clause. “You even want to publicly announce the reason for my expulsion in the reporters’ circle?”
This would create a blatant obstacle for her when looking for a new job!
Which news agency would hire an employee who had gotten dismissed and had bad records?
Too much, this was way too much!
It would have been fine if they had just fired her, but they were playing so many dirty moves.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Lian tried to suppress the anger in her heart.
Meanwhile, Su Meimei’s lips curled and she said smilingly, “Yes, you have half a month’s time. If you are not able to get that sum of money and Mo Ru has not forgiven you, we will sue you.”
Half a month’s time to prepare $500,000?
How could any normal person be able to get that sum of money?
This Su Meimei was really vicious. She had not left her any chances!
Qiao Lian’s eyes narrowed. “Su Meimei, you better not go too far!”
“Too far?” Standing up, Su Meimei looked at her and scoffed, “Of course, I can give you another option. We won’t fire you or expose the reason for your expulsion. We also won’t ask for those $500,000 from you. However, the only condition is that… you have to kneel down and beg me right now!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she glared at Qiao Lian evilly.
Qiao Lian’s fist tightened. As their eyes met, intense sparks flew in the air.
She sneered, “Keep dreaming!”
She turned and left.
But as soon as she walked out, she saw Xiao Ye ushering Fan Jie towards the conference room. “Managing Editor, Mr Fan Jie is here!”
As soon as the managing editor and Su Meimei heard this, they immediately rushed out. Su Meimei’s eyes lit up. Quickening her steps, she stopped in front of Fan Jie and reached out her hand towards him. “Mr Fan, you are here again!”
Fan Jie was all smiles as he reached out his hand quickly. However, the next second he was fixing his gaze on her. He walked past Su Mei Mei and stopped in front of Qiao Lian. He held her hand cordially and passionately, and asked, “Ms. Qiao, can we talk about the exclusive interview now?”
Su Meimei’s smile immediately froze on her face!
